The program WinSteif is used for the calculation of foundation plates according to the rididity module technique. Considering the reciprocal load face influences it calculates the contact pressure distribution, the settlements as well as the bending moments and the shearing forces of the even plate with any soil layering.
The surface of WinSteif is similar to that of WINDOWS Explorer. The input tree guarantees an optimal view of all inputs. Opening the output window before the data input enables the user to directly see the effects of the data input in the output window.
